X-box 360 problem. Google failed me

[Absoltrainer]

Alright, a google search failed me, so now I'm seeing if anyone here can help.

I have an X-box 360. It Connects to live through a wireless adapter no problem, I have an updated Gold membership and I can play online whenever I want.

UNLESS

My laptop is connected to to internet. My laptop is connected to the web using the same wirless modem as my X-box. If the two are both connected to the web, the X-box gets kicked off.

Literally if I connect to X-box live with my laptop's internet disabled and then re-enable to intenet on my laptop, my xbox is immedialy cut off from the web. If my laptop is already on, then my X-box won't connect to the web at all.

I thought it might be because my modem has limited ports, but when the other 2 computers, the wii, and pretty much everything with a connection to the web is turned off, the X-box and my Laptop STILL cannot be online at the same time.

I'm not sure what the problem could be or how to fix it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Your probably too far away from your wireless modem, and maybe your laptop uses all the bandwidth. Probably the former.

lol thanks for that

modem? uhhh, you mean router?

it sounds like the router is trying to assign the same IP address to both the laptop and the 360. you'll want to try setting them both to separate static IPs
